Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the oral-motor and motor-speech characteristics of young children with autism. Four children with autism and four nonautistic children served as participants for the investigation. Three tasks requiring oral motor movements, simple syllable productions, and complex syllable productions were utilized. Differences in raw scores were noted on two of three tasks and on the total overall raw score. Discussion and possible clinical implications are noted.Keywords
